I.C.B.C. 2010 Executive Team Bios
 |
Ian Grundy, Co-Chair ICBC truly is an unforgettable experience and I think my two years of experience as part of the executive certainly reflect this fact. I became involved with ICBC last year as the Financial Officer and the experience surpassed my highest expectations. As a result, I could not be more excited to be chairing ICBC 2010 with Kayleigh and the rest of our talented executive. In addition to my commitment to ICBC, I recently completed a semester exchange to the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel throughout most of Europe. After graduating at the end of this year I plan on pursuing a career in accounting as a CA. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors for their generous support and to congratulate all of our competitors for choosing to compete in our prestigious competition. I hope that all of your experiences are as positive as mine. E-mail Ian |

Kayleigh Roberts, Cochair ICBC has been a phenomenal experience for me over the past three years, and chairing this year with Ian has been no exception. I am a third year Commerce student, hoping to pursue a career in management consulting. Following the Final Round, I will be moving to Scotland to participate in an academic exchange at the University of Edinburgh. I am also a consultant on a student-run business, Creo Solutions, and a member of the QBET Executive and SIFE Queen's. Chairing ICBC has taught me more than I could learn in any class room, and I am so grateful to have learned so much this year with the support of the Executive Team. It is their effort and talent is truly the foundation of the competition's continued success. Thank you to the supportive faculty and generous sponsors who contribute so much to ICBC year after year. I'm so excited to see what this year's competition has in store, and wish competitors the best of luck! E-mail Kayleigh |

Kirsten Boer, University Liaison I am a fourth year student in the Commerce program, but I am very excited to be part of the ICBC Executive Team for the first time this year. Although I have been involved in the competition as a volunteer in the past, this year has been the most rewarding experience. In addition to ICBC, I also enjoy pursing my passion of dance as a part of the Queen's Dance Club and giving back to my hometown of Kingston by volunteering with the Easter Seals. As the main point of contact for all competitors and faculty advisors, I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. I am eager to meet everyone at Final Weekend, and wish you all the best of luck! E-mail Kirsten |

Kieran Robins, Sponsorship Director Now in my final year at the Queen's School of Business, I can say that it is still as exciting a place as the first day I arrived, especially having completed a term on exchange to Uppsala, Sweden. After completing my Commerce degree, I would like to pursue law school while still always making time for my other passion, football. I am proud and honoured to be a part of the ICBC 2010 Executive Team as the Sponsorship Director this year, and look forward to creating and maintaining our many valued partnerships. I hope everyone involved enjoys the process and I look forward to meet all of you at the Final Weekend in January! E-mail Kieran |

Mandy Tran, Sponsorship Officer My involvement started with ICBC as a volunteer at last year's Final Weekend, and I am so excited to be a part of the Executive Team for 2010! It has been such a pleasure to work on the Sponsorship Team with Kieran and Chris, and I hope that we will make this year's competition the most memorable and enjoyable experience for our generous corporate sponsors. I am a second year student and in my spare time, I enjoy traveling and skiing. Thank you to the support of our generous sponsors, as well as to the schools who participate in this competition and make our year of preparation so fulfilling during the Final Weekend.

Chris Ho, Sponsorship Officer I am a second year student in the Commerce program at Queen's and this is my first year as an executive member of ICBC. Within the university I am also involved in first year week orientation as well as a variety of intramural sports. I plan to go on exchange in South East Asia during my third year. After completing my undergraduate degree I hope to pursue further studies at law school. As a Judge Host at last year's competition I have seen what can be achieved when such talent is brought together like it is at ICBC. I look forward to meeting the judges, sponsors, and competitors and hope that everyone involved will have the most memorable experience. E-mail Chris |

Ruo Yang Yu, Case Coordinator I am a fourth year student in the Commerce program specializing in the areas of accounting and finance. I recently completed my winter semester on exchange at HEC, Paris. It was an unforgettable experience full of amazing people, beautiful places, and exciting experiences. I have had a variety of different experiences at Queen's working with the Internal Auditing Committee, Commerce and Engineering Environmental Conference, and the Vogue Charity Fashion Show. I was a part of the ICBC 2009 executive as Publications Director and my experience was enjoyable and enriching. It is an honor to have another chance to work with the executive, competitors, and other supporters of ICBC this year. I cannot wait for the amazing adventures that will be ICBC 2010! E-mail Ruo |

Giving the handbook a complete makeover this year, I hope you will be able to look through it and be reminded of all of your unforgettable ICBC experiences. At Queen's, I am also working towards a Certificate in Corporate Social Responsibility, and am involved in a volunteer program with elementary schools called Commerce Kids. I love travelling, and hope to spend a term on exchange in Europe or East Asia. Best of luck to competitors, and thank you to our sponsors, judges, faculty, and everyone else who makes ICBC such an incredible event.
